Kelsey Review

There are presently no open calls for submissions.

The Kelsey Review is a literary journal published by Mercer County Community College that publishes the poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and art of writers and artists who live and/or work in the larger Mercer County (NJ) area. Writers and artists who appear at Mercer County area events such as poetry readings are also eligible.We currently publish online.

Submissions for our next issue open on 1/01/17 and close on 5/31/17. All submissions during this period will be considered for the next 4 quarterly issues: Fall 2017, Winter 2017, Spring 2018, and Summer 2018. That is, if we accept your work it may be published in September 2017, December 2017, March 2018, or June 2018, depending on which issue it "fits." You will be notified which issue your work will appear in upon acceptance.

Except for poetry and art, Kelsey Review generally accepts only one item per author.

We accept simultaneous submissions, but please let us know as soon as possible if a piece submitted to Kelsey was accepted for publication elsewhere.

All rights are retained by the author.

Each year we nominate up to six published items for the Pushcart Prize.
